This audiobook also includes Ellison’s Children of the Streets.Hemingway said, “A man should never write what he doesn’t know.” In the mid-fifties, Harlan Ellison—kickedout of college and hungry to write—went to New York to start his career. It was a time of street gangs, rumbles, kidswith switchblades, and zip guns made from car radio antennas. Ellison was barely out of his teens himself, but he tooka phony name, moved into Brooklyn’s dangerous Red Hook section, and managed to con his way into a “boppingclub.” What he experienced (and the time he spent in jail as a result) was the basis for the violent story that AlfredHitchcock filmed as the first of his hour-long TV dramas. This autobiography is a book whose message you will notbe able to ignore or forget.
